A wonderful book. Highly recommended. You will enjoy reading it. Written in a very engaging prose. Nowhere would you feel being stuck or bored. Pick it up if you get a chance. Thanks to the author for a review copy.
Around 70% of the book is about addiction and struggles with it and from it, poor choices and decisions, fear, and inability to see through that something is off. The remaining 30% seems like typical advice, that wouldn't really look like huge revelations to the readers.
Going into the book I was expecting some motivational read, beating the issue, the addiction, overcoming it (5%), and then searching for true purpose and winning at life. This is not it. I kind of felt like I was sitting at one of those drug addict meetings, the author went to, and I was being BSed while the author was sitting on the high horse.
I'm sorry Grant Muller, but it seems like you are still on that high horse and not for a good reason, using a victim card with a "look at me" mentality. I feel very sorry for the author's family. That's it. I didn't feel motivated, as there was little to be motivated by. Caring for people you sell stuff to is good, but I would say, in business, it's a baseline not to feel shitty by the end of the day.
3 stars or 5/10, It's not a bad book, not a good one either. It's written pretty fine with some repetitive things. But I didn't feel disgusted, although it was unpleasant, as it should be, reading about the drug addiction experience, so kudos for that.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
